Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a mechanical fluffing mechanism and cleaning equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Roller mops have fluffy fibers, which provide excellent cleaning performance. However, during use, when the fibers come into contact with the ground, at least some of them will lie flat in one direction. Or, when they come into contact with water stains, sewage, dirt, or other debris, some of the fibers will stick together. Both the lying flat and sticking states affect the fluffiness of the fibers to some extent, thus affecting the cleaning effect and the service life.

[0003] For example, when mopping the floor, the wet fibers are more likely to lie flat due to the adhesive force of the water and the squeezing force of the floor.

[0004] Furthermore, the water spraying and squeegee mechanism can spray and wring water onto the roller mop to maintain its moisture level. Under the squeezing force of the squeegee mechanism, the pile fibers are further flattened. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a mechanical fluffing mechanism and cleaning equipment. The protruding teeth of the fluffing rod can stir or move the fluff fibers in the opposite direction and can disperse the fluff fibers, so as to transform the fluff fibers in the flat state into a fluffy state, or to increase the fluffiness of the fluff fibers in the bonded state.

[0010] The rotation direction of the roller mop is opposite to that of the fluffing rod;

[0011] The protruding teeth can stir or move the fluff fibers, causing the flattened fluff fibers to become fluffy, or increasing the fluffiness of the bonded fluff fibers.

[0012] In some implementations, the circumferential velocity of the protruding teeth is greater than the circumferential velocity of the fluff fibers.

[0013] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral surface of the rod is provided with multiple rows of protruding teeth; the protruding teeth are in the form of sheets or blocks, and gradually decrease in size away from the rod.

[0014] In some embodiments, a drive unit is also included, which drives the roller mop and the fluffing bar to rotate together.

[0016] The output end of the motor is driven and connected to the input end of the first gear set, and the output end of the first gear set is driven and connected to the roller mop.

[0017] The input end of the second gear set is driven and connected to the first gear set, and the output end of the second gear set is driven and connected to the fluffing rod.

[0018] In some embodiments, a spray nozzle and a squeegee are also included; the spray nozzle, squeegee and fluffing rod are arranged sequentially along the rotation direction of the roller mop.

Detailed Implementation

[0039] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 A mechanical fluffing mechanism 100, comprising:

[0041] A roller mop 1 includes a roller body 11 and a mop layer 12 disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the roller body 11, the mop layer 12 being provided with fluff fibers 120; and

[0042] The fluffing rod 2 includes a rod body 21 and protruding teeth 22 on the outer peripheral surface of the rod body 21; the fluffing rod 2 is arranged along the axial direction of the roller mop 1, which can be understood as: the fluffing rod 2 is arranged parallel to the roller mop 1.

[0043] In this case, the rotation direction of the roller mop 1 is opposite to the rotation direction of the fluffing rod 2;

[0044] The protruding teeth 22 can agitate or move the fluff fibers 120, thereby pushing the fluff fibers 120 to recover and breaking up the fluff fibers 120, thus restoring or increasing the fluffiness.

[0045] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the roller mop 1 cleans the floor or other surfaces, it rotates in the A1 direction. After the fibers 120 come into contact with the surface, some of them will lie flat in the opposite direction of rotation (unidirectional lying). This lying state affects the cleaning effect. At this time, the fluffing rod 2 rotates in the B1 direction, which is opposite to the A1 direction. The protruding teeth 22 can agitate or move the lying fibers 120 in the opposite direction, pushing them back to their original position and breaking them up, restoring their fluffiness or increasing their overall fluffiness. This ensures the cleaning effect and extends the service life of the roller mop 1.

[0046] In addition, during the cleaning process, some of the fluff fibers 120 may stick together due to sewage, stains, debris, etc., similar to knots. In this sticky state, its fluffiness is reduced. The protruding teeth 22 stir or move the sticky fluff fibers 120 to break them up, thereby increasing fluffiness and ensuring the cleaning effect.

[0047] When the roller mop 1 is mopping the floor or other surfaces to be cleaned, the roller mop 1 is in a wet state. After the fluff fibers 120 come into contact with the surface being cleaned, the fluff fibers will become more flattened. At this time, the protruding teeth 22 stir or move the flattened fluff fibers 120 in the opposite direction, push the flattened fluff fibers 120 to recover, and can also disperse the fluff fibers 120, making them fluffy again or increasing their fluffiness, thereby ensuring the mopping effect and increasing the service life of the roller mop 1.

[0048] refer to Figure 1The circumferential speed of the protruding tooth 22 is greater than that of the fluff fiber 120. For example, the circumferential speed at position B2 of the protruding tooth 22 is greater than that at position A2 of the fluff fiber 120, resulting in a certain speed difference between the two. When the protruding tooth 22 comes into contact with the fluff fiber 120, it agitates or moves the fluff fiber 120 under the action of the speed difference, pushes the fallen fluff fiber 120 to recover, and can also disperse the fluff fiber 120, thereby restoring its fluffy state or increasing its fluffiness.

[0049] refer to Figure 6 Multiple protruding teeth 22 are provided, and the multiple protruding teeth 22 are evenly distributed. The outer circumferential surface of the rod body 21 can be provided with multiple rows of protruding teeth 22, such as two rows, three rows, four rows, five rows, six rows, etc., and the two adjacent protruding teeth 22 in each row can be placed as close as possible to increase the number and density of protruding teeth 22. In this way, the fluff fibers 120 can be evenly stirred or moved, and the fluff fibers 120 can be dispersed to improve the dispersion effect.

[0050] The protruding teeth 22 are in the form of sheets or blocks, and gradually become smaller in the direction away from the rod 21; for example, the shape of the protruding teeth 22 is triangular, trapezoidal, sword-point, etc., so that the protruding teeth 22 have a certain shearing force when rotating, and while stirring or agitating the fluff fibers 120, it is also conducive to separating and breaking up each fluff fiber 120.

[0051] The roller mop 1 and the fluffing stick 2 can be driven by different power sources or by the same power source.

[0052] refer to Figures 7 to 10 The mechanical fluffing mechanism also includes a drive unit 3, which can drive the roller mop 1 and the fluffing rod 2 to rotate together.

[0053] The drive unit 3 includes a motor 31, a first gear set 32, and a second gear set 34;

[0054] The output end of the motor 31 is driven to the input end of the first gear set 32, and the output end of the first gear set 32 ​​is driven to the roller mop 1.

[0055] The input end of the second gear set 34 is driven and connected to the first gear set 32, and the output end of the second gear set 34 is driven and connected to the fluffing rod 2.

[0056] Specifically, the first gear set 32 ​​includes a first gear 321, a second gear 322, a third gear 323, a fourth gear 324, and a fifth gear 325 connected in sequence. The first gear 321 is connected to the output end of the motor 31, and the fifth gear 325 is connected to one end of the first output shaft 33. The other end of the first output shaft 33 is connected to the first shaft hole 110 of the roller body 11. The second gear 322, the third gear 323, and the fourth gear 324 are all two-stage gears, that is, they are coaxially provided with two gear bodies with different pitch circle diameters, thereby realizing multi-stage speed reduction of the motor 31 and thus improving torque.

[0057] The second gear set 34 includes a sixth gear 341 and a seventh gear 342. The sixth gear 341 is connected to the fourth gear 324, for example, to the gear body with a smaller pitch circle diameter of the fourth gear 324. The seventh gear 342 is connected to one end of the second output shaft 35, and the other end of the second output shaft 35 is connected to the second shaft hole 210 of the fluffing rod 2.

[0058] Among them, the pitch circle diameters of the sixth gear 341 and the seventh gear 342 are smaller, both smaller than the pitch circle diameter of the fifth gear 325, which makes the fluffing rod 2 rotate faster; the setting of the sixth gear 341 makes the rotation direction of the fluffing rod 2 opposite to the rotation direction of the roller mop 1.

[0059] Thus, by using a single motor 31 to power both the roller mop 1 and the fluffing bar 2, the structure becomes more compact and simplified.

[0060] refer to Figure 3 The mechanical fluffing mechanism 100 also includes a water spray nozzle 4 and a squeegee 5; multiple water spray nozzles 4 are arranged along the axial direction of the roller mop 1, and the squeegee 5 extends along the axial direction of the roller mop 1.

[0061] Along the rotation direction of the roller mop 1, a water spray nozzle 4, a squeegee 5, and a fluffing rod 2 are arranged in sequence; the water spray nozzle 4, the squeegee 5, and the fluffing rod 2 can all be located above the roller mop 1.

[0062] The spray nozzle 4 is connected to the clean water tank and can spray water onto the mop layer 12 to wet and clean the mop layer 12; the squeegee 5 can be made of stainless steel or other metals, is angular, and comes into contact with the mop layer 12 to squeeze the wet mop layer 12 and squeeze out the excess water from the mop layer 12.

[0063] When performing cleaning modes such as mopping, the roller mop 1 needs to maintain a certain level of moisture. In mopping mode, the spray nozzle 4 sprays water onto the mop layer 12, and the squeegee 5 squeezes the wet mop layer 12 to squeeze out excess water. After being squeezed by the squeegee 5, the fluff fibers 120, under the action of the water's adhesion and squeezing force, exhibit a more severe drooping state (i.e., the drooping angle is larger and the drooping area is larger, which further affects the cleaning effect). Then, the protruding teeth 22 stir or move the drooping fluff fibers 120 in the opposite direction, pushing the drooping fluff fibers 120 back to their original state and breaking up the fluff fibers 120 to restore their fluffiness or increase their fluffiness, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of mopping and improving the service life of the roller mop 1.

[0064] refer to Figure 4 The mechanical fluffing mechanism 100 also includes a water receiving trough 7 and a comb tooth 6; both the water receiving trough 7 and the comb tooth 6 extend along the axial direction of the roller mop 1.

[0065] Along the rotation direction of the roller mop 1, a water receiving trough 7, comb teeth 6, water spray nozzle 4, squeegee 5 and fluffing rod 2 are arranged in sequence; the water receiving trough 7, comb teeth 6, water spray nozzle 4, squeegee 5 and fluffing rod 2 can all be arranged above the roller mop 1.

[0066] The comb teeth 6 come into contact with the mop layer 12, which can remove or scrape off the particles, lint and other debris attached to the mop layer 12, and clean the mop layer 12. The debris can be collected in the water tank 7, which can also be used to collect the water squeezed out by the squeegee 5. The water tank 7 can be connected to the wastewater tank.

[0067] Thus, after the mop layer 12 comes into contact with the surface being cleaned, it passes through the comb teeth 6 to remove debris, the spray nozzle 4 to spray water, the squeegee 5 to wring out water, and the fluffing stick 2 to fluff the surface, and then comes into contact with the surface being cleaned again in a cycle to ensure the cleaning effect.

[0068] refer to Figures 11 to 13 The mechanical fluffing mechanism 100 also includes a housing 8, a roller mop 1 which is rotatably assembled to the housing 8 via a shaft structure or bearing structure, and a fluffing rod 2 which is rotatably assembled to the housing 8 via a shaft structure or bearing structure.

[0069] The spray nozzle 4, wiper blade 5, comb teeth 6, and water receiving groove 7 are assembled to the housing 8 by means of snaps or screws. Alternatively, the spray nozzle 4, comb teeth 6, and water receiving groove 7 can be integrally formed into the housing 8.

[0070] The drive unit 3 is equipped with a gearbox 36, in which the first gear set 32 ​​and the second gear set 34 are located. The motor 31 is assembled in the gearbox 36, and the gearbox 36 is assembled to the side of the housing 8 by screws or the like.

[0071] refer to Figure 14 and Figure 15 A cleaning device includes the aforementioned mechanical fluffing mechanism 100, and also includes a housing 200 and a chassis 300. The chassis 300 is provided with the mechanical fluffing mechanism 100, and the chassis 300 is also provided with a walking mechanism such as wheels.

[0072] This mechanical fluffing mechanism 100 can be applied to cleaning equipment such as intelligent cleaning robots and push-type cleaning machines, and is suitable for both household and industrial applications. Intelligent cleaning robots are cleaning equipment that can walk and clean automatically; push-type cleaning machines are cleaning equipment that requires the user to manually push the machine or manually operate it.

[0073] A method for fluffing a roller mop, which is a fluffing method achieved by applying the mechanical fluffing mechanism 100, includes the following steps:

[0074] S1: The roller mop 1 rotates to clean the surface being cleaned, such as by mopping the floor;

[0075] S3: The fluffing rod 2 rotates in the opposite direction to the rotation of the roller mop 1, and the circumferential speed of the protrusion 22 of the fluffing rod 2 is greater than the circumferential speed of the fluff fibers 120 of the roller mop 1; the protrusion 22 can stir or move the fluff fibers 120 in the opposite direction, thereby breaking up the fluff fibers 120, causing the flattened fluff fibers 120 to become fluffy, or increasing the fluffiness of the bonded fluff fibers 120, ensuring the cleaning effect and improving the service life of the roller mop 1.

[0076] Steps S1 and S3 can be started sequentially or simultaneously.

[0077] Furthermore, the method also includes step S2;

[0078] S2: The water nozzle 4 sprays water onto the mop layer 12 of the roller mop 1, the squeegee 5 squeezes out the water from the sprayed mop layer 12, and then the fluffing rod 2 fluffs it up.

[0079] Due to the squeezing of the squeegee 5, the pile fibers 120 are in a more severe collapsed state. The fluffing rod 2 stirs or moves the pile fibers 120 in the opposite direction to restore or restore their fluffy state, or increase their fluffiness, so as to ensure the cleaning effect and improve the service life of the roller mop 1.

[0080] Steps S1, S2, and S3 can be started sequentially or simultaneously.

[0081] Step S2 also includes: before the water spray nozzle 4 sprays water, the comb teeth 6 remove particles, lint and other debris attached to the mop layer 12 and clean the mop layer 12. The debris can be collected in the water collection tank 7, which can also be used to collect the water squeezed out by the squeegee 5.

[0082] Thus, after the mop layer 12 comes into contact with the surface being cleaned, it passes through the comb teeth 6 to remove debris, the spray nozzle 4 to spray water, the squeegee 5 to wring out water, and the fluffing rod 2 to fluff the surface, and then comes into contact with the surface being cleaned again. This cycle ensures the cleaning effect and improves the service life of the roller mop 1.

[0083] The above description only discloses some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
